Objective:
Aim: To determine the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis based on the analysis of research data and statistics from the MEDLINE, Scopus and Web of Science Core Collection electronic databases for 2007-2023.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and Methods: A comprehensive review of literature sources from the MEDLINE, Scopus and Web of Science Core Collection electronic databases was conducted to critically analyse the data and determine the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.
Conclusion:
Conclusions: In this review, we have summarized the latest literature data on the association between mitochondrial dysfunction and the development of atherosclerosis. Mitochondria have been recognized as a novel therapeutic target in the development of atherosclerosis. However, the presence of current gaps in therapeutic strategies for mitochondrial dysfunction control still hinders clinical success in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis. Both antioxidants and gene therapy are appealing approaches to treating atherosclerosis. Nevertheless, further research is needed to determine the proper therapeutic strategy to reduce the impact of mitochondrial dysfunction on the progression of atherosclerosis.
